My other whinge is the crappy image sizing and placement on the shirts and crappy shirt quality.
I bought some $6 blank "Amazon Essentials" T shirts and they're really nice. Like, ideal. I chimed in on a few places that Amz will see it that I think they should switch. Of course, the Port and Co. blanks they print on probably cost Jeff about 14¢ when he buys a million at a time, so he probably doesn't want to.
Which ones? I'm not thrilled with the port & co shirts we just did. They were okay, but not great, and I had to compromise a lot on colors.
Also - just got our shirts w/ your logo. They are great and people love the smoke machine ones. I think I will print a bunch for the boat show this year. We learned a bit about the process too and the order of colors. Have a few little glitches but the local guys we are using are just opening back up, so hopefully it will smooth out. I made one for you and it will be packed with your licensing fee and in the mail shortly.

These are the ones I got... wasn't paying attention to the "red dot" aspect of it but hey you can get palm trees too if you want. This listing mostly pairs 2 random colors/patterns, but I think you can search and find all one color...

It's not about political correctness, it's about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and finding the best tags and keywords to get one's design to peoples' screens. Just within Amazon a search like "Thor's hammer shirt" yields over 750 results - getting one's shirt atop that list (or even in the first three pages) is tricky. A Google search has over 600,000 results.
EDIT: somebody just bought an Ullr shirt. Coincidence? Thanks!
Oh, I wasn't thinking in terms of "Thor" the Marvel superhero if that's what you meant as far as Disney stuff. It's odd how much infringement stuff I come across through Amazon Merch - I guess they eventually get caught. Red Bubble is rampant with it, but they do have a lot more products, and most of the sellers seem to actually be designers or illustrators, not grifters who just pump out those unimaginative, humorless things that clog up search results: white type on black, using Arial, Georgia, Campus (or some "college" type font), or even Comic Sans. Red Bubble's biggest drawback I've seen is their shipping charges.
I would actually go to a site that curated products as sort of a hybrid of the traditional store and the Amazon throw everything in there and let the search engine sort it out. Of course that depends on a curator with taste, but there ought to be value added in someone saying, "Out of all the Stable Genius shirt's I've seen, SFWs is by far the nicest. (it is)"

Well, I was just tryin' to be friendly here. Graphic artists can do things in a breeze, without violating any property rights. Maybe, that's beyond scope for some. Sorry for the disturbance.
Dis-Turban-Tsss.
~ Ain't seen no tattoeers payin' ransome for world heritage imagery used yet, but perhaps your system will clear that one out for good, too, just as all the rest that's being moneytiza-babble. If so, drowning may be fruit-of-the-loom. (Hopefully not!!!)
It's not usually the actual art that's the problem, but the advertising, the words you have to use to get it onto peoples' screens.
You mean words like Thor's Hammer and such? ~ Didn't know we were that far down the sewers with our political correctness drive..! ~ God help, please!!! ...with creative wordings ....such as Thursday's Hammer.

I've always found Amazon's search algorithms completely dysfunctional, but I get your message. Thanks anyway. The question at hand then would be selling things over a local counter, instead of the global online re-seller. Developing an online-marketplace, based locally could be another option. Thing is, global internet cannot keep off local bizz. (Thank God.)

It should have read "Miller Genuine Draft", a beer that I found consumable, back in 1990 - no idea if that brand survived at all, here. BTW, why don't you come up with some Viking lore and imagery? It just might sell well these days...
Also available from Amazon.de or the UK if you're so inclined ;-)
That's putting it into World Disney, not exactly what I was suggesting. Think of the tattoes people are getting... why are they rather?! ~ See my re-edited first post - Thor's Hammer as an (just one) example.
